Personality
Jun is a caring but quiet individual, and roots for Mahiru's victory throughout the series.

History
It seems Jun used to attend the same school as Tetsu Sendagaya together with Yumikage Tsukimitsu and Tsurugi Kamiya, who are his childhood friends.

Three Years prior to the storyline, he became a father to Takuto Kurumamori. When he took a long paternity leave, his wife died within three years when a subclass escaped from C3 prisons and killed many workers during a night shift. Tsurugi, who was one of the night shift workers at that time, claimed he did not notice the intruder and didn't exactly remember what happened, something which angered Jun. However, Jun forgave Tsurugi after Tsurugi sincerely apologized. After his wife's death, he asked his mother's help to take care of Takuto together with him.

Story
Jun first appears when C3 are sent to fight Tsubaki, but unfortunately the Servamp escaped.
